The retailer recycled 30.3 tons of plastic pet food, treat and litter packaging.

During Global Pet Expo, the company unveiled its expanded Gently Cooked line and its new Epic Blend line. 

The retailer has partnered with TerraCycle to help reduce packaging waste. 

The franchise brands reported helping to keep 27,000 lbs. of pet product packaging out of landfills and incinerators.

The retailer is launching two takeback recycling programs to advance pet parents’ environmental impact efforts.

The retailers have collected and recycled 3.5 tons of pet product packaging waste through TerraCycle over the last six months.

TerraCycle will collect, clean and sort used flexible pet food and treat bags returned to participating stores.

Through the program, consumers can recycle “well-loved” Benebone dog chews.

TerraCycle and Casella Waste Systems have partnered to offer at-home pickup and recycling for plastic materials not readily accepted in curbside bins.

Consumers can recycle pet food and treat packaging through the Community Recycling Hubs.
